Abstract Background This study aimed at investigating: 1) the relationship between self-care agency and depression and anxiety; 2) the sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with depression and anxiety in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) in China. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted. One-hundred and five patients with DR were recruited. Self-care agency was assessed by the exercise of self-care agency (ESCA) scale. Depression and anxiety were assessed by the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS-D and HADS-A). Pearson or Spearman correlations were performed to assess the association between self-care agency and depression and anxiety. Stepwise multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted to assess the contribution of the sociodemographic and clinical factors to depression and anxiety. Results Thirty-six (34.3%) and 43 (41.1%) patients exhibited depressive and anxiety symptoms, respectively. Only 24 (22.9%) patients showed a high self-care agency. The ESCA total and subscale scores were negatively correlated depressive symptoms (P < 0.05). Self-care skills were negatively correlated with anxiety symptoms (P < 0.05). ESCA total score, rural residence, history of hypertension and visual acuity were associated with depression; self-care skills and diastolic blood pressure were associated with anxiety. Conclusions Self-care agency negatively correlates with depression and anxiety in patients with DR. Special attention should be paid to patients living in rural areas and/or those having a history of hypertension when assessing depression and anxiety in patients with DR. Future studies are needed to clarify the causal relationship between self-care agency and depression and anxiety.

This study presents the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Appraisal of Self-Care Agency Scale - Revised (ASAS-R). The sample was made up of 627 subjects (69.8% women) aged between 18 and 88 years (mean = 38.3; SD = 13.26) from 17 Brazilian states. Exploratory factor analysis of part of the sample (n1 = 200) yielded a three-factor solution which showed adequate levels of reliability. Two confirmatory factor analyses of the other part of the sample (n2 = 427) tested both the exploratory and the original model. The analysis of convergent validity using the Subjective Happiness Scale, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the 36-item Short Form Health Survey Version 2 (SF-36v2) demonstrated adequate levels of validity. A significant correlation was found between levels of self-care agency and age, level of education and income. The analysis of sample members with chronic disease (n = 134) showed that higher levels of self-care agency indicated lower levels of negative impact of the chronic illness in the individual's everyday life.

Objetivo Traduzir, adaptar e validar a escala Appraisal of Self Care Agency Scale-Revised (ASAS-R) para o Brasil.Métodos Utilizou-se o método descritivo de adaptação de instrumentos de medidas, em 150 portadores de diabetes mellitus. As etapas foram: tradução, síntese das traduções independentes, avaliação pelo Comitê de Juízes, retrotradução, submissão das versões retrotraduzidas aos autores da versão original, validação semântica, submissão da versão adaptada aos autores da versão original e pré-teste.Resultados ASAS-R manteve as equivalências semântica, cultural e conceitual. O alfa de Cronbach foi de 0,74, e o coeficiente de correlação intraclasse, no teste e reteste, foi de 0,81, e na análise interobservadores, de 0,84.Conclusão A versão manteve as equivalências conceitual, semântica e cultural. Confirmou-se a correlação entre os construtos capacidade de autocuidado, depressão e percepção do estado de saúde, exceto apoio social. Na validade discriminante, observaram-se diferenças significantes entre grupos, quanto à idade, escolaridade e autoaplicação de insulina.
